Appendix

A. Authentication Flow Diagram

Registration Flow:
User → Frontend (Registration Form) → API (RegisterUserCommand)
  → Domain (User.Create) → Database → Response (User Created)

Login Flow:
User → Frontend (Login Form) → API (LoginCommand)
  → Verify Password → Generate JWT Token → Response (Token)
  → Frontend (Store Token) → API (Subsequent Requests with Bearer Token)

Protected API Request:
User → Frontend (With Token) → API (JWT Middleware validates token)
  → Authorized → Controller → Response

B. Test Coverage Target Breakdown

Layer	Current Coverage	Target Coverage	Gap	Priority
Domain	96.98%	80%	+16.98%	✅ Complete
Application	40%	80%	-40%	🔴 Critical
Infrastructure	0%	60%	-60%	🟡 Medium
API	0%	70%	-70%	🟡 Medium

• Recommendation: Refresh token approach (more secure)
• Decision Maker: Backend Agent + Architect Agent
• Timeline: Day 1 of sprint

Decision 3: Password Policy

• Options:
  1. Strict (12+ chars, special chars, numbers)
  2. Moderate (8+ chars, letters + numbers)
